The temple dedicated to Maa Anandamayi is the heart and soul of the ashram !! In addition to the formal daily prayers & rituals performed here, devotees meet here every evening for devotional singing and prayers !!

In the beautiful Vaishno Devi Mandir, the Goddess is invoked and worshipped as the Sustaining Mother of the Universe !! Right in front of this Mandir is a Yajnashala, where Vedic havan (offerings into the sacred fire) is regularly performed !!
